STL Mommy ? Free Resources For Home Improvement Tips ...

The key to saving on Home Improvement is simply: Do It Yourself!

As I?ve been working on making my home I realized quickly that changing one room at a time can make a world of difference.

Here are a few tips:

1) Paint is the easiest and least expensive way to change a room. Before you purchase paint check for coupons and rebates!

For instance right now you can print a $5 off Benjamin Moore Paint Coupon on Coupons.com. Before you make a purchase also check for rebates from Home Depot & Ace Hardware.

2) Start Small

-My suggestion is to change the smallest room first (the Bathroom)
-By adding a new shower curtain, shower hooks and towels you have updated and changed the look and feel of the room.

Here are a few items that you can use to Refresh your bath for less:

Better Homes and Gardens products available at Walmart:

-Bath Towel $8
-Shower curtain $16
-Shower hooks 9
-Paint: $20

Complete change to your room under $55

3) If you are making your purchases online be sure to use a Cash-Back Website :

-ShopatHome.com (gives you 4% cash-back on your entire purchase at Walmart)
-Mr. Rebates.com (gives you 3% cash-back on your entire purchase at Walmart)
*You can also take advantage of site to store shipping.
